READ: Okay, so, here's what's happening. I ended up writing one really long chapter but thought it would be better to just post it as two. I'm going to fix up the second part before posting it though.

So, I'll keep this short. The next chapter will be the last chapter of the story aside from an epilogue. Yes, there will be an epilogue after this next chapter. Also the next chapter might be a bit long anyways. You'll see why I don't want to post them as one.

Anyways, enjoy.


Kotori hopped over to stand next to Honoka, flashing her most innocent smile. "Hey, Honoka-chan. We thought you might need a little help. I'm sorry I don't really have time to explain things right now."

"Pestilence." Seira called, walking over. "Like you said, we don't have time. Let's allow Void and First to do what they to. Void's heir and I will hold off Second. If you feel like helping, feel free." Seira snorted at the thought and Kotori giggled.

"I'm not much of a fighter, please."

"Pestilence…?" Honoka started but didn't have time to finish the thought.

"So many annoyances…" Kanan gritted her teeth in frustration and held her sword up. "Begone, insects. You who would allow our kind to fall to nothing, failure of the First. You who use the weapons of a Demon Lord to slay demons." A flash of light around her sword coalesced into a golden ball centered at the tip. Kanan's eyes flared red. "From this world to the next… May all life perish." The ground around her started to crack, rocks bursting into the air.

Seira looked towards Erena. "First! What the hell is that?"

"It would seem I have been away for too long. The authority of the Underworld. How ironic. 'Allow our kind to fall to nothing.' This is a power that drains the life force of countless demons across the Underworld, an ace in his sleeve, if you would like to call it that." Erena shook her head. "Even with my authority as the First, I cannot stop that."

Pestilence gave a nervous laugh. "You're not telling me that we came here for nothing, right? An ace in the sleeve like this would be worth mentioning, would it not?"

"I did not believe he would have stolen the authority in the short time I have been away. A miscalculation on my part." "Ahhh, this would have been something useful to show me." Erena laughed. "Look at the way it's distorting the very space around it. There's no way we can even approach that, much less get a blade through. Is he planning on destroying the entire Underworld along with us?"

Sure enough, just as she said, the very space around Kanan seemed to distort and twist, not allowing a clear image of the girl for the rest. Rocks and dirt around her turned to nothing in the wake of the light above her head.

"Are you all idiots!?" All heads turned in Chika's direction. "You're all so useless! Giving up that easily? We don't need to reach him! We just need to stop that move! Void-chan!" Yoshiko blinked in surprise. "We're going to stop it!"

"Eh? While I may be confident in my abilities, I know when…"

"Oh, shut up!" Chika closed her eyes and took a calming breath. "I, Takami Chika, hereby relinquish my authority as the Sun." Jaws dropped as the words left her mouth, a small light flickering to life in front of her. "For this day, I will light up the night sky. May all under your light feel your warmth!" The ball of light shot forward, slamming into her Demonbrand, almost knocking Yoshiko off her feet. The blade began glowing dimly.

"Sun, you…"

Seira looked up at the sky, but the light still held. Even the ground around Chika stayed molten. She was still exuding the radiance of the Sun around her. "That girl… Despite giving up her authority over the Sun, she's still exerting her will over it."

Yoshiko stared at the blade in her hand but didn't have time to consider what it meant.

"The blade that slew the evil dragon… Destroy them, Imhullu."

Kanan swung her sword down, the ball of light expanding as the arc lowered. The ball expanded, blasting out in a wave of energy that tore through rock and dirt with ease, obliterating everything it touched. Yoshiko drew Chika's now-glowing Demonbrand back. "With my authority as the Void, I release your constraints. Fill me with the nothing of the Void, the beginning and the end." Darkness gathered around the sword, but that did nothing to further dim the glow. Yoshiko took a step forward. "Void style, 1st blade, Null."

Yoshiko swung her sword just in time to meet the blast wave of energy. And, to everyone's relief, her sword held it back, the blade simultaneously bursting with the light of the Sun and the darkness of the Void. The sound of the collision was deafening, Honoka was sure that was what the sound of the end of the world would be. Despite that noise, a voice reached her ears, a soft voice, strangely so.

"Four Seasons." Honoka turned slowly to look Erena in the eyes. "Quite the sight, is it not? Both my heir and the heir to the Sun are amazing."

"Eh? Uh, yeah." Honoka didn't expect some casual conversation when they were in the middle of a potentially world-ending event. "Why…?"

"We have not the time, Kousaka Honoka." The voice shifted, but to her surprise, it was an equally as soft voice. It definitely sounded nothing like what she was expecting. "It's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. I thank the line of Four Seasons for protecting my place of birth."

Honoka tightened her grip on her sword. "First… After all the shit you put our line through? What about how much Master suffered? And Ryoma-san?"

A sigh from Erena and she continued. "I had to watch the line of Four Seasons closely, to wait for the day when the Singularity was taken in." Singularity? That's what Yoshiko and the Void had called her. What did it mean though? "You, Kousaka Honoka, heir to the Four Seasons, Daughter of Autumn, are the Singularity in this world, chosen by Fourth to stop calamity."

"All of you keep talking about this 'singularity' stuff but you haven't told me what it means! And why are you even alive? Autumn told me you were dead!" Honoka was getting more than a little frustrated at the fact that she felt like she was being kept in the dark on almost everything despite somehow also being at the centre of this whole thing.

"One thing at a time, Honoka-kun. I believe there is someone much more suited to answer your questions, a being that knows much more than I ever could hope to." Erena shifted slightly. "I know it may seem like much to ask, but I will need your trust. I recognize that I am a Demon Lord, one that has long loomed over the line of Four Seasons, one that has caused suffering for your line."

"Who's this 'being' that knows so much more than the First Demon Lord?"

"Autumn, herself."

Honoka's eyes widened at that. "I've already talked to Autumn before. But she said…"

"That you would never speak to her again. You are disconnected from your authority over Autumn. That is to say, she chose you but did not grant you authority. Or perhaps you subconsciously rejected the authority when inhering the Four Seasons."

Erena must have shoved first away because she took over speaking. "Listen, Four Seasons. Since this idiot only likes to speak in riddles and half-truths, I'll tell you. Fourth made you the Singularity, he chose you by placing the Heart of the Void in your arm and turning you into a Demon Slayer. Why? That's something you'd have to ask him if he were still around to answer. The reason doesn't matter. Right now, we're on a time crunch for the life or death of every human. Do you want to argue with First or save the overworld?"

Honoka clenched her hand around her Demonbrand, only some of the anger subsiding. "Of course I want to save the overworld…"

Erena clapped and smiled. "Then, do us a favour and let First help you, alright?" It still seemed like a prospect doomed for failure, but what choice did she really have? Honoka reluctantly nodded and Erena grinned. "Good, good. Well, first thing's first. We need you to reclaim your authority… or claim it the first time, whatever it is. The point is, we can't win this if you don't have authority over at least Autumn. The lack of said authority is why your blade has no effect against Kanan."

"So, I will send you deep into your subconscious, where Autumn rests within you. After that, it will be up to you. It is completely possible that Autumn will not give you authority over her. In that case… I hope you are prepared to defeat Autumn."

"D-Defeat? Is defeating a style even possible?"

"Under normal circumstances, perhaps not. Having authority over a style, prevents you from dealing true damage to them. Such is the reason Yoshiko is not truly able to damage the Void. However, you lack the authority over Autumn. In that case, it is completely possible for you to defeat her. I will not say that will be an easy task."

Defeat Autumn and claim authority over her… Honoka shook her head. Just days ago she never would have even imagined fighting against her own style. And now it was one of her only two options? Where had the simple life of traveling with Seira and Hanayo gone? Now she was in the Underworld, fighting to keep the very world she loved from splitting apart. She could almost laugh at how ridiculous it all was.

In fact, a smile did come to her face, but one filled with determination. She looked over to Hanayo who still lay unmoving. "Take care of her while I'm gone. No matter what happens."

"Hm. Your dedication to your partner is admirable, Honoka-kun. However, very little if any time will pass while you reside within your own mind. If something does happen, I will stake my life to protect her… as repentance. Now may not be the time, but I truly am sorry for the suffering I have…"

Honoka waved off the apology. "If you're really sorry, then just make sure to protect her if anything happens."

"Very well. We will need the Oracle, if you so please, Pestilence."

As if Kotori had been ignoring the fact that Yoshiko was barely holding back a blast of energy that would kill them all and end the world, she perked up at her name. "Oh, right away! Nozomi-chan, you there?" Kotori clicked on the speaker button on her phone.

"I am but… what the heck is that sound? I can barely hear you!"

"Don't worry about it, Nozomi-chan! Besides, we have bigger things to worry about! Or well… that's exactly what we're worrying about right now."

"Eh? Wait, Nozomi-chan?" First Kotori and now Honoka, just who else was she going to end up seeing today?

Kotori waved the question off. "Nozomi-chan, I'm going to give the phone to Void. She'll explain what you need to do alright?"

"Alright…"

Erena grabbed the phone and sighed in annoyance. "Just give it to me in the first place, Pestilence… Listen up, Oracle. You already did it once, so you should be able to do it again. Channel the Void into me. Though I loathe to admit it, you are the only one with complete access and proper communication to the Void right now."

"Eh?" Nozomi paused and when she continued, she spoke with more confidence. "I can do it. The Void already knows what you want to do. So… I should be able to channel it through the phone."

"Mm. Good. Start it now, directly into me. Four Seasons, come." Honoka swallowed and closed the distance between them. Erena placed a hand on top of her head. "It's going to feel like fainting, but it'll happen so quickly, you won't even notice. Are you ready?"

Honoka still felt unsure, but she tightened her grip on her sword and nodded. "If it's our only choice, then that's that. Get me in there, Void." Honoka shook her head. "Erena-chan."

Erena gave a genuine laugh at that and nodded. "Then, let's go. I'll send you… straight to Autumn."


Honoka would give it to her, it was akin to passing out, except maybe even quicker. One moment she was there and the next she wasn't. She was falling through darkness, but not a cold and unusual darkness, a warm, comforting darkness, the space of her mind. And unlike when she was in the Void, she didn't feel lost. She knew exactly where she was. Nobody could be more familiar with her own mind than her, right? Her feet finally touched something solid in the darkness, a place for her to stand.

As far as she could see there was nothing, but that felt fine. It wasn't unsettling, it was just… how it should be, she figured. "Autumn…?" She called lightly but her voice carried through the darkness, echoing off unseen walls. The scarf around her neck began vibrating lightly and she reached up to touch it in confusion. From the way Autumn phrased it last time, she assumed the scarf had used up all of its magic. And she shouldn't need it to see Autumn now anyways.

A small light formed in the darkness, far above her, slowly, so slowly, floating down until it was at eye level with her. It expanded out, taking on the only form she was familiar with in regard to the season. Eli, or rather Autumn, smiled back at her. Honoka immediately summoned her Demonbrand to her side, glad that she could still use the blade in her mind.

"Woah." Autumn held her hands up. "Looks like you already decided to go for that second option, huh? No time to talk this time?"

Honoka shook her head. "I'm sorry. If you don't care about the world ending, that's fine. But if something happens while I'm gone… I need to get back as soon as I can. I don't know what all this authority stuff is about, but you're going to give me authority over you or I'll take you down right here."

"Ahaha! I always knew you were an interesting girl, Honoka, from the moment I chose you."

"This isn't the time to joke around! Why wouldn't you give me something so important anyways? If you trust me as your heir, shouldn't I have gotten that authority when I accepted Seira's offer? Or when I mastered the blades?"

Autumn shrugged. "I have my reasons." The smile slipped off her face in an instant, replaced with the stern look Honoka was used to seeing from Eli. "Your body is too weak to inherit my authority. And I don't mean just yours. Human bodies. Seira-chan is not the first Daughter of Winter in our long line. But you are the first Daughter of Autumn. You are the first I chose to truly wield me. For you are the only one in this long line that has truly felt me."

"Then, that's all the more reason…!"

"I told you. Your body, especially now, is in no condition to handle my authority." Honoka started to speak up again but Autumn raised a hand to silence her. "You are suffering from extreme elixir poisoning right now. You may be able to fool others with how well you can still move, but I can feel the pain every movement you make. Your body is on the verge of collapsing. If I give my authority to you, you will die before you can accomplish anything with it."

"Am I supposed to not take that risk!?" Images of her friends flew through her mind, images of the people waiting for her, facing the end of the world, an image of Hanayo laying helpless on the ground. "After all we've been through, you think I can put my life ahead of the entire world!? Don't screw with me!" Autumn blinked in surprise at that. Honoka furiously wiped away angry tears that slid down her face. She gripped the hilt of her sword and met eyes with Autumn. "I'm not going to sit by and watch all my friends die."

Autumn tilted her head before snapping up. "Oh! You're upset that I lied to you about First being dead. Ahaha. Sorry, sorry, we are in your mind after all, I can't really help but see what's going on."

"That's… something. But I don't really have time for…"

"Nonsense. Time is virtually at a standstill while you're in here. I don't particularly like lying to my heir, but it had to be done. You telling the heir to Void that First was dead was my sign to the Void… well, the actual Void, not the corrupt Void, that it was time. You see, Void has an Oracle…"

Honoka could have facepalmed at how ridiculous the situation was. Was Autumn purposely not taking her seriously? Regardless of her worries about Honoka's body, the ginger knew she had to take that authority, one way or the other. And, even thought time might be at a standstill, she hated the thought of being in there while her friends were facing eminent death.

"Four seasons, Autumn style, 1st blade." Honoka dashed forward, the fires of determination lighting up her eyes as she swung her sword out. "Fall." It didn't take a genius to guess that Autumn would dodge the blade, but she did so with such ease that it still threw the ginger off a bit, causing her to stumble before catching her footing again, turning to face Autumn who just sighed.

"That won't do at all, Honoka. Attacking me isn't very nice."

Honoka struggled to find some kind of solution, but realized quickly that Autumn would instantly know anything she came up with. She was fighting a losing game even though she was fighting inside her own mind. She didn't lose faith from that realization though. If anything, it got her even more fired up. If Autumn would know every move she was going to use, then she just had to go with something that would work no matter what. She had a blade like that, a blade that Yoshiko had warned her about, a blade that even her Master had warned her about.

Autumn choked out something between a laugh and gasp. "You can't be serious, Honoka. If you sever your link with me with that blade, we'll never be able to reconnect. The Four Seasons will forever be lost to you."

Honoka took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. She concentrated on Autumn, on the feeling that she felt when fighting Ryoma that day. She shifted slightly and heard the crunch of leaves underneath her feet. A smile tugged at her lips and she loosened her grip on her hilt. "In that case…" She opened her eyes to find that they no longer stood in the dark depths of her mind, but on a dirt path littered with red and orange leaves. Trees lined the path, their leaves lazily falling through the air to join the piles around them. "Thank you for everything you've done for me until now. Both you and the other seasons. This… This is one time I can't back down, not even to you, Autumn."

"Is that truly your resolve?" Autumn's face remained impassive but Honoka kept her smile.

"Mm. I'll protect this world that my friends live in. Even if I can never become part of it again… I won't let them be dragged down with me. So, once again, thank you. But this goodbye. Four seasons, Autumn style, 5th blade."

Honoka took her time walking, the pressure of the world quite literally on her shoulders, weighing her every step. For the last year, she had felt a responsibility, both to the Four Seasons and Seira. For their sake and the sake of Hanayo, her treasured partner and friend, she trained as hard as she could, mastered blades quicker than other heirs. But now it felt like her world had turned completely upside down. All those nights ago, when she trained with Seira, day and night, when she begged Seira to teach her the Autumn blades, she never imagined she would be facing the season itself in combat. She never thought, after working so hard, she would be so willing to give up that style. But to her, that just screamed how important her friends were to her. It made her already radiant smile shine brighter.

Autumn remained stoic as she approached, showing no signs of resistance. She didn't summon a sword of her own, just stood with her arms crossed, staring straight into the blue orbs of her heir. Honoka slowly drew her sword as she came within striking distance, but the strike itself was as fast as it had ever been. A swift, single strike that was even capable of severing the veil between worlds.

"Tsuki―"

"Ahaha!"

Honoka had steeled herself to slice right through the girl with that blade but the sudden burst of laughter made her pull her sword back at the last second, just barely missing. Part of her regretted it, she almost expected it to be some kind of trick and she started to take a step back, wondering if Autumn was going to strike out at her. She tried to bring her sword back in front of her as she saw the image of her friend move forward, but Autumn was far too quick.

"Eh?" Instead of feeling the pain of a blade, she felt warmth as the girl wrapped her arms around her, pulling Honoka's head into her chest, still laughing the entire time. "W-Wha?"

"You're so adorable, Honoka!" Autumn was almost in tears laughing, but finally calmed down when she saw the confused look on the ginger's face. "You were really going to strike me down there, huh? Well, that would have been a shame. I wouldn't want to abandon you, especially in your time of need."

"Y-You're the one that…!"

"Shhh." Autumn ran a hand through ginger locks and gave her a gentle, caring smile. "While it's true that I do not want to give you authority over Autumn… If you have that kind of resolve, how can I say no?" She finally let Honoka go who stumbled back a few steps, letting the words register. When they did, her eyes lit up.

"Y-You're serious? You'll give me authority?"

Autumn chuckled and nodded. "I will." Her smile was replaced with a hard line as she spoke her next words. "However, what I said was true. I'll do my best to protect your body but… With the condition it's already in, I would not be surprised if you died the instant you took authority over me. Listen, Honoka. Normally, you can't just relinquish authority over a style. Sun is… an exception to many rules. In our case… I don't believe it will be possible for you to relinquish my authority. To be blunt, I think the chance of you dying is much higher than living. In the event that you can't relinquish it, which is very likely, you will almost certainly die.

Honoka nodded slowly, taking it all in. She was definitely prepared to die… or at least, she thought she was. Her hands shook slightly, and she had to tighten one around her sword and one into a fist for them to stop. Now that she was looking a likely death in the face, it was hitting her pretty hard. Even if she managed to save them, she might never see them again, might never see any of her friends again.

"Pfft." Honoka shook her head and let her whole body relax. "Worrying like this really isn't like me…" She looked up to meet eyes with her season once again. "Even so… Let's do this. I want to save them no matter what."

"Good, good. I love your passion." That gentle smile returned, and Autumn offered a hand which the ginger quickly grabbed onto. The leaves around them rustled and shifted, tickling at their legs. "I knew from the moment I saw this landscape. This is your landscape, not mine. In the end, Autumn will always be yours. I will always be at your side, ready for you command, ready to fight alongside you. I may be just a bit evil, stealing your life to fight, but you will use me anyways. I wish only the best for my dear heir, my dear daughter."

The leaves around them began spinning in some kind of invisible wind, getting swept up in a torrent around them, obstructing Honoka's view of everything but Autumn. A warm feeling filled her chest and she felt a bit dizzy. Her vision began shifting in and out of focus.

"W-What…?"

"The body's natural reaction would be to reject my authority. I'm slowly forcing it into you. As soon as I do, you'll return to the Underworld. Don't worry, I don't need to explain my authority to you. Once you have it, you'll know exactly how to use it." Honoka tried to nod but wasn't sure what she was doing with her head. Her head felt like it was spinning, and she was quickly losing sense of the world around her. "Now go… my precious heir. Show Second the true power of Autumn."

Through that dizziness and blurred vision, she caught one last clear glimpse of Autumn giving her a smile. Just as she felt her own lips curling into a smile, everything fell away.


Honoka's eyes snapped open. The first thing she noticed was that time must really not have passed. Erena still had her hand on her head which meant that she had probably just closed and opened her eyes. Maybe one second had passed. The second thing she noticed was the intense pain in her chest and stomach. She immediately doubled over, puking out a sizeable puddle of blood. "Guh…!" Not only was she feeling the effects from her elixir poisoning, but it felt amplified, probably because of the authority that rested within her. Giving credence to what Autumn had said, she didn't feel like she would last very long.

The third and final thing she noticed was the scarf around her neck. It still vibrated with magic, tickling her neck. Some way or another, it must not have been completely out of the magic that had allowed her to see Autumn before. But why was it still vibrating? Why was it still releasing mana?

"Honoka!" Seira ran up to her, rubbing a hand on her back. Honoka hadn't even noticed that she had puked up more blood a second time until her master was at her side.

"I-I'm… okay… It's just elixir poisoning."

Seira turned a stern look on her. "No. It's Autumn's authority. I can feel it around you but I can also tell what it's doing to your body. Honoka, you…"

Honoka dropped her Demonbrand and reached out with her one arm, wrapping Seira in a hug. "I really appreciate everything you've done for me, Master. Even through all of this, I never want you to think that I regret agreeing to be your heir that day. I love you, Master."

That let Seira know all she needed to. She tightly wrapped her heir in a hug. "I'm glad… I've always been so happy to have you as my heir, Honoka." She sniffed and Honoka could swear she was crying. "After all, I never wanted to take an heir. But when I saw you that day… I knew it. And I've never regretted it. I love you, Honoka. We're more than just family and we'll always share this bond. No matter what."

Honoka giggled and pulled away. Sure enough, streaked down her Master's cheeks. "Come on, Master. Don't cry." She reached up and ran her finger through the tears. "Nothing is set in stone here but…" She picked up her Demonbrand and got back on her feet. "I'm going to show you… just why I'm worthy of being your heir."

Seira let out a long breath and nodded. "Go out there and show me. You're the only one who can do this after all."

Honoka turned to Yoshiko who was still struggling to hold back that wave of energy. She was clearly fighting a losing battle as she was slowly getting pushed back. Honoka took a deep breath and nodded to herself. Just like Autumn had said, she knew exactly how to use that authority. It was now or never.

"I, Kousaka Honoka, heir to the Four Seasons, Daughter of Autumn, hereby release your constraints. Use my body as a tool to create the perfect setting. My veins flow with your blood. I give my all through this body. Let them witness your beauty!" A pulse spread out from the ginger, washing over everyone there.

It all happened in just a moment. The ground was suddenly covered in the red and orange leaves that she had become so familiar with. A gentle wind blew around her. Just like in her mind, trees with the same leaves sprouted up around them, forming a large circle around the group. Everybody looked around in amazement before they noticed the even stranger occurrence. The wave of energy was still there but it… was just stopped as if frozen in time. Well, almost everybody. There was noticeable lack of the shy redhead and the heir to the Sun.

Kanan looked at her hand then at the energy that simply didn't move in front of her. Her eyes drifted around the scene before a frown found its way to her face. "You've disconnected us from the world. A pocket dimension, is it? No… a pseudo-reality pocket. A magic long lost to humans and demons alike." She stepped around the frozen blast of energy to finally look at the group again. "A world in which you control everything, I suppose?"

Honoka took a step forward but paused as she felt something wet running down her face. She reached up and touched her face. Blood. Blood was leaking from both her nose and her mouth and not in small amounts. Every step she took felt like a weight was crushing her. The pain was horrible. Spikes stabbed at her stomach, twisted it, ripped it apart. It felt like something was trying to crush her heart from the inside. She took a deep breath which only helped the fire in her chest to grow.

Come on, Honoka. You don't have to last long. You didn't die immediately. That means I have a chance. Now all that's left is…

She raised her head to meet Kanan's eyes. Even though she sounded calm, she could see the hatred flaring in her eyes. Honoka forced a smile through the pain. "Control everything? No. This isn't my power. This is the true authority of Autumn. I've brought you straight to her. No place in the world is closer to the true season than right here. Because she doesn't want it destroyed, you can't destroy it. That ace up your sleeve is meaningless."

Yoshiko finally relaxed from her position in front of the wave of energy and moved to stand next to the ginger. To Honoka's credit, the heir to Void looked even worse than she did. Blood poured from cuts along her face, her clothes were torn in various places, revealing deeper wounds. Honoka assumed she had still taken enough of the force of that blast to put her in such a state.

"Well, looks like our time is finally here, huh?"

Seira laughed before walking up to the other side of Honoka. "They fought in your world. Now it's time to fight in ours, don't you think?"

"A world that disallows the use of my authority over the Underworld. You've completely separated us from that world. A most impressive ability, Autumn. But… Pfft. Look at you, Four Seasons. Between the elixir poisoning and your newfound authority, your body is basically falling apart. You've sacrificed yourself for nothing."

To Honoka's surprise, Yoshiko was the first to take another step forward. "It matters not. Four Seasons is much stronger than you could ever hope to be. No matter what false hope you give yourself. Fusing with the Void… stealing the Heart of the Void… None of it matters in the face of how weak you actually are. In the Underworld, you held your own. But I wonder about now. Come, let us fight, on our terms this time."


Maybe to some of you it doesn't feel like it, but if this does feel like an abrupt ending to the chapter, it's because of what I said before. I, fairly arbitrarily, chose this point to break it into two. The next chapter is probably going to be long as is and I thought posting a super long chapter would be kinda eh.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed.

Till next time. Be seeing you.
